Abstract

Dispositivo automático de limpieza de piscinas y conjunto de válvulas correspondiente. El dispositivo incluye un órgano flexible de limpieza que está destinado a entrar en contacto con una superficie subacuática de la piscina. Un tubo está acoplado al órgano de limpieza para conectar el dispositivo de limpieza a una manguera de vacío para agua a través de un adaptador de manguera. Un órgano flexible de válvula está montado cerca de una zona de garganta del tubo. El conjunto de válvulas incluye sólo una pieza móvil. Aplicable para lograr un diseño simple de los componentes, de poco desgaste y por lo tanto de poco mantenimiento.Automatic pool cleaning device and corresponding valve assembly. The device includes a flexible cleaning device that is intended to come into contact with an underwater surface of the pool. A tube is coupled to the cleaning organ to connect the cleaning device to a vacuum hose for water through a hose adapter. A flexible valve organ is mounted near a throat area of the tube. The valve assembly includes only one moving part. Applicable to achieve a simple design of the components, of little wear and therefore of little maintenance.
